The goal is to study lots of processes, but most significantly to create really hot, dense conditions where we may be able to observe a phase transition in QCD to something called the quark-gluon plasma.

The curve that slopes downwards (negative beta function) is a prediction of the asymptomatic freedom in QCD and, as can be seen, it agrees very closely with the measurements that have been made.

Regardless of this development, it is clear that the fantastic and unexpected discovery of asymptotic freedom in QCD (fig. 5) has profoundly changed our understanding of the ways in which the basic forces of Nature in our world work.

Thanks to the asymptotic freedom in QCD it is now possible to calculate this process.

It turned out that instantons in QCD give finite and well-defined contributions to the amplitudes.

I remember once saying to Howard that if QCD is so good, it should explain the Sigma-Lambda mass splitting.

There is no special code on Form 1099-R to indicate the money was sent to a charity, so it is up to the taxpayers to make sure they indicate on their Form 1040 that a "QCD" (qualified charitable donation) has been made from IRA funds.
